I just found this http://www.shuame.com/faq/general-tutorial/500-htc.html and it seems like an alternate way to "s-off" the HTC one M8, can someone confims if that's it?
Also, if i do get s-off by doing this, like the description says, i could install any RUU without matching my CID, i'd be able to install a WWE ROM? Main question is: My model is 2,5ghz, any other ROM designed for the ordanary M8 would take advantage of this?
Thanks.

Well, kind of.
You would have to change your CID (to a WWE or superCID) and have a compatible model.
If you are on Verizon or Sprint, you are out of luck.
seems interesting anyone want to try?

What do you mean by "compatible model"?
Any M8 with superCID can install any RUU, right?
Mine is M8t (TD LTE) from China Mobile, it's unlocked for any carrier by default.
Only difference is that it runs at 2,5ghz.
Question: to flash a RUU (being s-off) first I need to relock my bootloader?

This is incorrect. Its been tested and confirmed that for the Taiwan 2.5 GHz version is not compatible with radios for other M8 versions, and therefore firmware and RUUs are also not compatible (although ROMs are).
And additionally, since we've already discussed on your other thread that your M8t is not compatible with other M8 ROMs, its also therefore very unlikely that it can run the RUUs for other M8 versions.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on XDA and i'm actually thrilled.
So I have the Taiwanese unlocked model of the HTC One (M8) and I'm thinking over fully converting it to a GPE with the famous RUU.
I tried searching the forums but couldn't find a strict answer for my issue: If I fully convert my device, I know this means the radio image will also change to the stock one of the GPE version.
What does it mean? Will I lose signal because this is a different radio image than the Asian one? Do I have to change the radio image after installing the RUU.zip?
I'm fairly new to modifying my devices so take it easy on me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.
Nimi.
If it's anything like the regular M8, you can just reflash the radio of your choice.

Yes, It is anything like the regular GSM M8, just the CPU runs at 2.5GHZ rather than 2.3 on US models, and of course it supports different bands.
So, I do everything just like the tutorials say and after im finished I can reflash the Taiwanese radio for example? Will I still get OTA updates?
Thanks!
You should be able to. But you may want to wait until someone with the Asian version can confirm. If you want to test it out, flash the 4.4.3 GPE ruu and see if you get the 4.4.4 OTA.

I have Asian version. And I have rooted to convert to GPE. Everytime I install the GPE rom or OTA update. I always have to flash the asian radio so that I will get signal. I wish there was a way such that OTA will install and know that an Asian radio is required; or maybe something that will prevent my radio from being overwritten.
About the question if you'll get OTA updates automatically, I remember you have to modify you CID or MID or something. You will have to look up for that...
I have the Asian model as well, I converted over and placed the asian radio in the ruu zip before flashing, and now whenever i get an ota it doesnt change the radio

HTC One M9
Hello,
I wonder why the HBOOT is now called ABOOT with the One M9.. is it just because it`s new design.. or are there more changes that we should be careful with?
Thanks a lot

I think its mainly like the HBOOT on the M8, maybe only a name change, but i can't say, because i did not diff the files and i'm not really into digging into
bootloader images, i only do the needed edits and then i'm done.
Mismatched MID and CID
Hello. I just got S-off on my HTC one M9 Developer Edition in order to flash this firmware, but found (through getvar all) that my MID and CID are not the same. Why is this, and is there a way to fix it?

Of course they're not the same it wouldn't be good for your device if they were.
MID: a combination of numbers, letters and/or additional characters that identify your the device (as for example a HTC M9)
CID: a combination of numbers, letters and/or additional characters that identify the country of origin of your device and whether it's branded and sold by a carrier or not.
For example the MID and CID of an european M9 which is unbranded and sold in Germany are 0PJA10000 (that's a zero at the beginning not an O) and HTC__102.
Edit: Both, your MID and your CID, are the correct ones for the developer edition.
Sorry

I didn't mean mismatched as in not the same, I meant as in unable to flash this firmware for that reason (that they do not match any provided MID or CID).

Ok, sorry for missunderstanding your post. Well, the x.xx.401.xx firmware versions are meant to be used on the international version of the M9 which can be identified by the supported MID and CIDs. You could change both IDs using fastboot commands but since the hardware of the U.S. variants is slightly different* I don't think it is a good idea to flash this firmware on your phone. In the worst case you might get a nice new paperweight if your phone is not compatible with that firmware. Besides I don't think it'll take too long until the official 1.40.xxx.xx firmware is going to be distributed via the OTA function of the stock HTC rom.
*Blame the fact that U.S. carriers use the CDMA network standard while most other parts of the world are using GSM.
Isn't it GSM?

Last I checked, only Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. Does Developer Edition include that functionality?

Seems like you're right. As far as I read the developer edition is almost the same as the AT&T version which uses GSM. I thought every U.S. carrier uses CDMA. Nevertheless there must be a difference since your MID differs from the international one. If the hardware were the same there would be no need to use a different MID. Of course you could try installing the 1.40.401.xx firmware using the commands in the hide box but I cannot garantee that it will work or that your phone is still usable afterwards. I would actually suggest you to ask here whether you won't brick your phone by flashing the x.xx.401.xx version.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid <input desired CID without "<" and ">"here>
Code:
fastboot oem writemid <input desired MID without "<" and ">" here>
Edit: Seems like it won't "hurt" your phone to convert it to the international version.
developer editions on GSM
Hi all
i am wondering if the 1.32.617.30 developer firmware and RUU stuff will work on a GSM phone or more to the point a European phone.
The phone in question is mine it is unlocked and s-off and on super sid i just wanna make sure i still get phones call and stuff
any help or advise would be great
thanks guys
Hi thabks..is there any release date for the internatuonal 2.10 ruu??
Hi guys, need help here
I relocked my M9 and make it S-ON. im using firmware 2.7.401.1 I cannot install from any RUU, it seems there is no RUU that match with my firmware. I make mistake should S-ON the device later, but i already did it, so now i cannot use the phone because there is no OS on it.
I try to unlock bootloader, and cannot retrieve the token when using fastboot oem get_identifier_token. I read that since 5.1 you need to turn on unlock option in developer options, but i cannot do that, since the OS is already wiped
Is there any solution for this ?
Thanks.
when will we have the ruu zip 2.10.401.1 so we may be able to apply the SDCARD method to have a full clean stock flash?
I would like to have flashed in this way instead of going all the hard way in flashing ruuzip stock 1.40 and then upgrading by ota´s.
Thanks for all efforts, Nepht Legion.

Hi All,
Apologies if this is the wrong thread to post this in, just wanted to find out if anyone else has tried to manual install an ota on a M9 s-off.
I copy it to my SD and select to install it via stock recovery. It checks the file and starts the update and not once have i spotted an error, but once it is back up and running android, it is still on the old version.
I'm currently trying to go from 2.10.401.1 to 2.10.401.180, and if I go to aboot, it actual says the new version, but the OS version is still the old.
I would seem that the system partition isn't being updated.
Is there something i'm doing wrong? I tried the usual, googling and searching xda, but haven't found a solution yet.
Thanks

I bought a refurbished, factory unlocked HTC one m8 off eBay in February. I just got my hands on it last week. I live in India.
I have some experience with rooting the phone and installing custom rims. I'm currently using the HTC one m7 with ViperOne 8.0.0 on top.
I have a few questions that I need to find the answer to before I do anything on the m8.
1. What are the methods to s-off the phone?
Bootloader unlocked using htcdev
Hboot version is - 3.16
Running stock Rom 4.4.2, that I'm assuming comes with an at&t m8
2. Do I need to flash a firmware/radio for the phone to work in India?
3. Do I need to be looking at custom roms made specifically for the at&t version? Or can I flash any Rom built for the international version?
4. Is there a way to convert the phone to an international firmware/radio, etc. So I can flash Rom/mod meant for international version?
I'm not sure I explained my questions correctly, please ask if further info/explanation is required

And you be flashing Viper again I assume.
You'll need to use Sunshine S-Off. It cost $25, but it is guaranteed to work. They run a diagnostic check to make sure, and only ask for the payment then.
Once you are S-Off, you can go superCID and flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU, or flash the same version firmware.
In your situation, I would run the RUU instead of just flashing the firmware. Just my opinion. You could probably just flash the firmware at that point. The RUU is always the safest method though.

It depends on whether the bands needed to work on your carrier (3G and LTE, if applicable) are already supported by the AT&T version. If not, then you need to flash a radio that does support your carrier's bands.
Hey guys,
I own an original unlocked M9 (1.32.617.30) and want to convert it to the international model for the quicker updates.
Just got it S-OFF and wanted to make sure I got the rest of the steps right:
1. Change MID to 0PJA10000
2. Change CID to 11111111 (or to HTC__001? which is better?)
3. Run 1.32.401.17 RUU (is it possible to run 1.40.401.8 RUU instead? or do I need to flash a 1.32 base first?)
Cheers! Trying to avoid a bricked phone :angel:

Who is your carrier?
You shouldn't need to change your mid. Just change to super cid and you can flash the latest firmware and any custom rom you want.
If you're AT&T, the 401 firmware should work seamlessly, you just probably will not get voLte. If you're tired mobile, 401 firmware should also work, but no Wi-Fi calling (you should confirm this because I'm really not sure). If you're Verizon or Sprint, I have no idea, but I think you're sol and have to wait until they release an update. .
Edit: nevermind about carrier stuff. Didn't see that you have dev edition. 401 firmware should all work.

I'm not in the US, but europe. I've bought the phone through HTC US and that's why i'm on 617.
Regarding the MID, it is only because it is listed as a step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948
And when you say "flash latest firmware" what do you mean exactly? should I install 1.40 RUU or 1.32.401.17 RUU first? I really want to know Im flashing the right file now that i'm S-OFF.

Gotcha. I didn't understand your desires. I thought you were basically asking how to upgrade your firmware and flash a rom. Probably you should ask in that thread and maybe clsA or someone else in that thread can give you specific advise. I assume you're looking to convert to stock 401/0PJA10000 and receive official otas?
This might help you as well.. its an A,B, C ... guide

Hi all,
I have recently surrendered and got s-off using sunshine.

You'll need to change the CID and MID to run another carrier's RUU.
Alternately, instead of an RUU, you can flash a custom ROM, or stock ROM (such as stock DevEd MM ROM posted in Development), which will work fine on LP firmware. This would require an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

is there any risk involved in changing my MID to a Europe one assuming the device is AT&T from the US?

As long as you follow the instruction carefully and exactly, there is little risk in changing the CID and MID. For the MID in particular, be sure to get the location correct for the parameter you are changing (the instructions advise to cut and paste the command, to prevent a typo) otherwise you can do some permanent damage.
Once you've changed to the proper CID, MID, running the Euro RUU is not any more risk than running an AT&T one. The phones are the same in hardware.
